Salman's claim on CCCC rejected

A Bombay Special Court Thursday rejected film actor Salman Khan claim demanding Rs 2.5 million due to him from the proceeds of the controversial film Chori Chori Chupke Chupke, in which he played the lead role.

Designated Judge A P Bhangale was of the view that the actor's claim could be entertained only during trial when he deposed as witness in the case involving alleged nexus between Bollywood and the underworld.

Salman's father and script writer Salim Khan, who holds a power of attorney on behalf of his son, filed a petition demanding Rs 2.5 million due to the actor. He filed an agreement between Salman and producer Nasim Rizvi which disclosed that the former had agreed to perform in the movie for a consideration of Rs 15 million, out of which Rs 2.5 million was due.

The judge observed that Salman had not come before the court and had preferred to file his claim through his father. Hence, payment would be 'premature'.

"At this stage, Salman is not before the court. He shall appear as witness when the trial begins. Therefore his claim could be considered when he deposes before the court for recording evidence and not before," the judge noted.
